Christmas in the Cupboard

With just a week left before Christmas, I still have a few things around the house that I've wanted to share with you. My Holiday Cupboard went all white this year, as I sorted through my putz houses and churches. I was going to do just white ironstone and a few new (to me) pieces of red transferware, but each time I thought about it, I knew my little churches needed to come back out.

just a little wonky steeple.

I love these guys, he looks like he has on a "stache", te he.

Print of a church from England from an old book plate.

I hope they're not head butting!

Most of my little churches are old, but a few are new, and then some are made to hold candles inside. Pretty much a mish mash, but I love them.

This print from the 40's makes me long for the more simpler times in life; bundled up, walking to the country church.

Debra, your holiday cupboard is beautiful! I absolutely love your churches and how they have pops of color here and there. You've styled it wonderfully ... glad the churches made their way out again! Happy Holidays!

I've been waiting for your holiday cupboard Debra, and it is just beautiful!... love your little helper too!... Tessy has her nose into everything as well!... your churches are all so pretty and I absolutely love the old print from the 40's... simpler times... my favorite era... much love, xoxo Julie Marie

What a gorgeous hutch, Debra! I am in love with all of your beautiful churches. And the deer are so sweet! I also really love your framed vintage church prints. Such a pretty vignette you have created!

I have that same little glitter church with the wonky steeple...minus the steeple! The steeple must have been lost somewhere throughout the years at grandma's house, or maybe she acquired it w/o the steeple. I love those vintage little houses at Christmas. They remind me of when I used to rearrange her Christmas village all the time.

Debra...what Blogger feature do you use to switch the rotating photos in your header?

All these Christmas treasures of yours are simply wonderful! The image of people walking to the country church, snow falling and bells ringing warms my heart and nourishes my spirit. Thank you for your kindness and nice words to me.Wishing you and yours a truly magical Christmas!

I'm so very happy you decided to go take this route this year. I very much enjoyed looking at your adorable churches and deer. Glitter houses and deer are just two of my favorite things this time of year.

Debra,Precious!!!I, too, wish for simpler times. . .when families made their way to Church together!!! Thank you for this gorgeous Christmas cabinet...a precious, subtle reminder of the true Reason for the Season!!!Fondly,Pat

I love your cupboard all decorated for Christmas. The collection of churches is a wonderful idea. I've just recently spotted a vintage church and couldn't think ofhow to work it into my decorations. Guess I needed lots more!

Pools Debra I left you a comment on your pillow junkie post how did that happen, so if you see me comment on this posting over there you will figure it out. Thank you Debra for gracing your beauty over at my place. I also sent you an email again ooop's it was on my daughters email address Hannah so no fear open it, a wealth of info for your husband.It's beautifully white here.XoxWhite Christmas to you

I adore your little Putz churches. You have them arranged so beautifully in your white cupboard. I found a couple of new Putz churches last year and have seen a few more this year. Don't know if I'll spring for another one or not -- I do think they are so precious. I'm so glad you brought them back into your decor again this year.

I've been building a village of chipboard houses and churches for my daughter over a number of years. It's always delightful when she brings them out and builds her little town for the Christmas season. I'm excited to share your beautiful display with her. Thank you for inviting us for a peak.

This is so sweet, I love all of the little houses, they bring back a lot of childhood memories for me. My mom collects them and it was one of my favorite things to put up each year as a kid. Thank you for sharing with us, wishing you a very Merry Christmas :)

Debra,I'm so happy that the little churches found their place in your cupboard. They are precious! The deer are wonderful too. I love it all decked out in white with just a touch of color here and there.Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.Hugs, and have a very Merry Christmas!Jann

I love it! I didn't know anyone else collected churches. My daddy was a Pastor, so I'm collecting churches in his memory. I grew up in church and loved it. Was also my daddy's piano player. Merry Christmas!
